Looking Back in Wordsworth’s Tintern Abbey: Revisiting a familiar haunt years later, Wordsworth laments the loss of childhood's "dizzy raptures," but asserts: "other gifts have followed..." Priscilla Gilman, author of The Anti-Romantic Child, uses Wordsworth’s poetry as a touchstone in this memoir to describe the flourishing of life that occurs when we embrace the unexpected. Topics that will be discussed in this NY Council for the Humanities Conversation facilitated by Gilman on Thursday February 28 at 6:30 p.m. at the Tappan Library include: adulthood; values; growth via loss; and what makes life worthy.

I guess better late than never. LaCorte is serving his 4th year as Mayor and was Trustee for I think…Read More 4 years before that. This year is the only time he has brought the idea to the village
about participating in this program. He is motivated by the opportunity of getting positive press for his County Executive
campaign. The village should have been involved in this
program ( as well as the Americorps program) long before
this. On a positive note, hopefully the Village will continue this
worthwhile partnership for many years to come.
